------------------- My response:
It is interesting to note that Cadiz is ancient Phoenician colony and that
perhaps the "hot spot" of Europe for T (the old K2) is Cadiz. National
Genographic's Dr. Wells calls some subclades of J and T "Mediterranean
Traders" associated with the pre-Roman Phoenician trading empire. The story
seems to fit here.
